Chapter 485 Dingjuan The sound of cracking rocks and startling strings
As the door opens, the merchants gathered outside can finally enter the fish market.
The market officially opens at the third quarter of the day, and merchants who come to buy fish can enter, but for the fishermen and fishery owners in the fish market, they often start to get busy at the Yin hour.
They have to sail the fishing boat into the harbor the night before, or transport the catch from the fishing ground into the harbor by boat, and transfer the spiritual fish that need to be sold during the day from the cabin of the boat to various places in the fish market with water bags.
In a dedicated fish pond or rented water tank, merchants can see the catch as soon as the market opens.
Every time there is a big day like the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, fishermen and fishing farms will transport more catches to the fish market.
Because on this day more merchants from the surrounding area will come, especially some big customers will come to buy at this time.
Although most of the big customers are taken over by Yuelu Zong, there are still some merchants who are not satisfied with dealing with Yuelu Zong, or who need additional purchases, and are willing to choose and buy on their own in the fish market.
In particular, some rare species of spiritual fish that are rare in number are more likely to be favored by these merchants. These rare spiritual fish are difficult to breed and can only be caught by fishermen by chance, and it is impossible for the Yuelu Sect to catch them.
Meet the needs of all guests, so we don't care about such situations happening.
A second-level foundation-building monk from the Yuelu Sect had already been waiting at the gate with the stewards of the three major fishing grounds.
Today there are many distinguished guests from the Tang Dynasty, almost all of whom are members of the top families of the Tang Dynasty.
They basically only come once every two months, and the purchase volume is basically fixed, but this time the situation is a bit special. It is said that in addition to the regularly purchased batch of spiritual fish, they may also need to purchase some other rare spiritual fish, probably from these sects.
to meet the special needs of some elders.
Fortunately, these guests from the Tang Dynasty are generally more abiding by the rules, and every transaction is considered smooth. There have been few unpleasant incidents over the years.
The Yuelu Sect is also happy to provide convenience for the distinguished guests of the Tang Dynasty, accompanying the guests to choose and search in the fish market.
Under normal circumstances, the Yuelu Sect is not very interested in those rare spiritual fish, because they cannot be cultured in fisheries and it is difficult to generate benefits.
The really precious spiritual fish will only be considered to be purchased if the big shots of the Yuelu Sect need it themselves.
Two young men walking behind a group of people looked around casually. After entering the market, they could smell a strong fishy smell, and of course a very strong spiritual power.
Thousands of spiritual fish are kept in fish ponds and water tanks in the fish market within a few miles, crowded together. They will be sold within two or three days, and then new spiritual fish will be transported in.
"There are probably hundreds of households in the entire fish market, right?"
"There are more than two to three hundred. These are all businesses. They have sales points in the fishing grounds, and some are temporarily rented to fishermen for sale. You see, those with larger fish ponds are basically businesses.
The water tanks are basically temporarily rented by fishermen. The number is not large, but there are often some rare spiritual fish. Don’t you want to see the purple-eyed eel? Let the Yuelu Sect arrange people at that time.
I'll walk around with you and see if I can run into him. It depends on my luck."
The person who introduced it was obviously familiar with the Donghe Fish Market, and the other Mr. Zhuo Shijia was obviously here for the first time. He looked around with interest, but there was a bit of sadness in his eyes.
"If you can't meet the Purple-eyed Spirit Eel, you can actually meet the Golden Fire Loach, but it seems more difficult to meet the Golden Fire Loach, right?" Sighing, the young man in white shook his head, "Give it a try, these are all
It is one of the largest fish markets in the north, perhaps only the fish market at the mouth of the Yellow River in Dazhaoji County can rival this place?"
"I'm afraid the fish markets at the mouth of the Yellow River are not as good as here, but some rare spiritual fish don't necessarily have to be found in big fish markets."
The man in gray clothes who spoke to the young man in white clothes was not very old, probably less than forty years old, and his tone was relaxed.
He doesn't need to worry about buying fish at all. The clan has its own dedicated personnel to do the shopping, and they come here three or four times a year. It has long been a routine.
Generally speaking, the tribe would send two or three old men at the Qi refining level to handle the matter. After finishing the shopping, paying the bills, they would go straight back to Hexi from Pukou Ferry.
There are also dedicated people on the Hexi side to transport the catch back to ensure that it is fresh and safe. Why is there no need to make this trip myself?
But if the "legitimate son" of the Yuwen family insisted on this trip, he had to accompany him. After all, the Yuwen family and the Yuan family were the closest allies, and the eldest son of the family also unexpectedly had a son.
Important people also participated in the fish purchase, which made the Yuwen family feel even more uneasy.
All of a sudden this was an ordinary fish shopping trip, but suddenly it became a little unusual.
"What does that guy mean? Why did you and him come here to go together like this? Is there any story here?" The man in gray robe glanced at the man in purple robe walking silently in front, "Look, he should
Yes, cousin, right?"
The clan clans of the Tang Dynasty are inextricably linked to each other. They have been married to each other for so many generations, but this does not affect the fights or even wars between the two parties.
??????????.??????
Often, the previous generation were close relatives by marriage, the next generation may be enemies at hand-to-hand combat, and the next generation will fight side by side again.
The situation was unpredictable and unpredictable, much more frequent and drastic than the changes in the relationship between the Zhao sects.
The white-shirted young man was a little distracted, "Who knows? I have my own needs. We can't take care of the affairs of the eldest grandson's family. Cousin, an appearance is three thousand miles away. We have dozens of families in the Tang Dynasty. Who cares about this?"
If you and my sister-in-law are not related, you are still a generation younger than me."
The words of the young man in white made the man in gray feel dumbfounded, but he was right. He was twenty years older than the other man, but in terms of three generations of seniority, he was still his junior.
"Speaking of which, what kind of elixir are you preparing that requires purple-eyed eel and golden fire eel?" The man in gray shirt changed the subject: "Eight rivers circle Chang'an, can't we find it in Chang'an?"
"I have looked for them. It is said that there were still some twenty years ago. However, in the past ten years, it seems that the climate has changed. Purple-eyed eels and golden fire eels can no longer be seen. Even if they are bought at a high price in the market, they cannot be found.
That's why I came here to take a look." The white-shirted young man paused and said, "It's a pity that the East River Bend is such a good place, and we, the Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhao Dynasty, can only look at it, but it's an advantage for these bastards in Hebei."
The man in gray shirt chuckled: "The power of the Beirong people is still shrinking, and the situation in southern Shanxi will change sooner or later. Now let's give them some face for now so as not to affect our relationship with them. Wait another twenty years, no,
In less than twenty years, or at most ten years, Jinzhou may have changed."
"Changing the sky? Whose sky will it become? Our Tang Dynasty or the Great Zhao?" The white-shirted young man curled his lips, "It is still unclear who will win."
The words of the young man in the white shirt left the man in the gray shirt speechless.
The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Zhao Dynasty was constantly being cut off and chaotic, and the grudges and grudges could not be clearly explained for a while.
When the Beirong people were at their peak hundreds of years ago, they attacked Dayong, Dayan, Yinma Qinchuan and the banks of the Yellow River in one fell swoop. Tang and Zhao shared the same hatred and joined forces to fight against the Beirong people for decades.
The Beirong people's arrogant idea of going south to drink from the Ma Dajiang River was eliminated.
But when the Beirong people reached their peak and declined, gradually falling from their hegemonic position, the pattern of competition between Tang and Zhao began to take shape again.
Although there were still constraints from surrounding local forces such as Wu Yue, Nan Chu and Bashu, the relationship between Tang and Zhao inevitably deteriorated.
The Tang Dynasty was an empire with a typical family as the core, while the Zhao Dynasty was a dual system with the clan as the core and the family as the auxiliary. Although the Zhao family occupied a central position and relied on the Taoist palace to control the situation, the super clan
The sect is the foundation of Zhao, there is no doubt about this.
The group of people walked into the fish market lazily.
The head of the Yuelu Sect who welcomed them was also very enthusiastic.
For these old customers, especially those from outside the region, Yuelu Zong has always tried its best to meet the needs.
Every year, these big customers can buy most of the spiritual fish from three fisheries, and they can also bring huge trading volume to the fish market. Therefore, when these big customers propose to buy some scarce spiritual fish from other fishermen, the monthly
Not only would Lu Zong not interfere, but he would actively cooperate and help them contact and make peace in order to maintain this relationship.
For the agreed-upon blue-headed snow bream, golden-ridged naked carp and silver-fired sturgeon, the fishing grounds on the Yuelu Sect side have been prepared long ago.
The inspection was carried out in the fish pond. Stewards from various sects in the Tang Dynasty were also standing by the pond, randomly grabbing a few spiritual fish to inspect. The sizes and specifications had already been standardized.
For example, each tail of the blue-headed snow bream weighs about twelve or three kilograms, while the golden-ridged naked carp only weighs less than ten kilograms, and the silver-fired sturgeon is larger, weighing about twenty kilograms.
These spiritual fish are full of spiritual energy and are also necessary for monks to replenish their bones every day.
Soon the transaction was completed, and the stewards of the Yuelu Sect were all smiles. The delivery of spiritual sand and fish catches was completed. The stewards from various sects in the Tang Dynasty also put the fish catches into special fish bags and added special spiritual seals.
Plant it before putting it into the storage bag.
It can be seen that once the transaction is completed, there is only one target left, a big-headed blue bighead carp with bright flowers.
The Green Bighead Carp is not a particularly valuable spiritual fish, but it has a moderate nature, is not expensive, and can grow very large, weighing up to sixty or seventy kilograms. For ordinary Qi-training monks, it is quite
Affordable spiritual food.
This flowered blue bighead carp seems to have weighed more than a hundred kilograms. It is far beyond the ordinary bighead carp. It can be called the king of blue bighead carp. It is estimated to be more than sixty years old. It was left at the fish market a few days ago.
Recommended for sale to visitors from Datang.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the green bighead carp king. The white-shirted young man noticed that besides himself, the guy from the eldest grandson's family was also a little moved, and he felt a shiver in his heart. Could it be that this guy is here for this too?
"Steward, there are people coming from outside, saying they are from the Tianyun Sect and the Wanxiang Sect of Great Zhao..." A young steward walked in quickly and whispered in the Yuelu Sect steward's ear: "It seems that they are also here for this green bighead carp."
"What?!" The steward was shocked. He came for a bighead carp? What's going on?
